Norfolk SEN Network, which was founded in 1987, said on its social media platforms that “we urgently need your help to keep the charity alive”.

The charity represents families of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and helps secure the best educational support to meet their needs.

They often guide parents through the process of applying for more support, and through tribunal hearings when an agreement can’t be reached.

On Facebook, they said: “We will have to reduce the support we can offer to children and their families due to a reduction in the fundraising and grants we have received. This is not something we had wished to do but the charities funds have got to a point where this may be the only option to maintain a presence in Norfolk.”
